Iranian warships dispatched to the Atlantic Ocean will travel close to U.S. maritime borders for the first time.
The commander of Iran’s Northern Navy Fleet, Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad, said the vessels have already entered the Atlantic Ocean via waters near South Africa, the official IRNA news agency reported.
IRNA quoted Haddad as saying the fleet is approaching U.S. maritime borders for the first time. The Islamic Republic considers the move as a response to U.S. naval deployments near its own coastlines.
The voyage comes amid an ongoing push by Iran to demonstrate its ability to project power across the Middle East and beyond. The fleet, consisting of a destroyer and a helicopter-carrying supply ship, began its voyage last month from the southern Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas. The ships, carrying some 30 navy academy cadets for training along with their regular crews, are on a three-month mission. The U.S. Navy’s 5th fleet is based in Bahrain, just across the Persian Gulf.
Given Obama’s blind support and fanatical radicalism towards the mullah’s of Iran, I have room for doubts. If the Iranians do decide to go terminally stupid and strike out at the USA, then we reduce their navy flotilla to a state of becoming artificial reefs for the fish. Yet I cannot put it past Obama to deliberately allow the Iranian’s to strike out at the USA, and then use the incident to place blame on some political opponent, and dispose of them once and for all. Nothing can be put past this mad man. Although Iran is probably just messing with Obama. Could you imagine them pulling this with Reagan or Plural Bush? Even imagine it with Clinton?
No way. Not a chance. Carter, maybe… and Barry, for sure (obviously). Not those other guys, though.
